Autopano Video - Preferences - Panorama

Changes to the Preference settings in the renderer will be applied by default to new reference panorama created.

Size
Set a maximal width or height. If 0, created panorama size will be computed according to camera resolution.

Blending presets
The purpose of the blender is to combine the overlapping zones without it being noticeable, to obtain a perfect stiching of the videos.
Autopano Video offers 2 optimization presets adapted to your needs without having to change them yourself.
These profiles correspond to the pre-configurations that can be seen in the “advanced settings”.

Diamond: This is fast but it is possible that defects are seen where the areas overlap.

Diamond: The pixels in the centre of the images are more important than the pixels on the edges of the images.

Cutting: all moving objects will be retained or removed according to their positions in the overlap areas. The anti-ghost himself makes this choice. This algorithm is computed on first frame only and duplicated for all rendered frames to prevent flickering effects.

Format
Lets you choose the output format, encoding, compression quality and resolution. Theses settings are used when project is rendered as a sequences of individual pictures : when Frames is checked in render tab.
